NCAA Bracket for fun, Interested?

Hey, it is (IN THE USA) time for March Madness. College basketball tourney time!!!

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a just for fun bracket challenge. I could set it up on yahoo and send invites to anyone interested. You could OM me your emial adress or add it to the thread and I could send the invite. No entry fee no winning paypout just for fun and maybe bragging rights.

Games start Thursday afternoon so it would have to be done sooner rather then later.

If your like me you can close your eyes and guess if you have no clue about hoops. I find people that have no clue usually do the best.

Mod's if this not approperiate please delete.

umm Interesting idea I use to follow the tournament religiously not so much anymore; although I watched a couple games on the weekend (those twins from Stanford are awesome). One of my 'Bucket List' items is to see the Final 4 live. I would be in - my Email address is David <dot> E <dot> Young <at> telus <dot> net.

OKay, not sure how this works but someone give it a try and let me know. You can just go to this link and access the pool. You do need a Yahoo acccount (free) this makes it easier then me checking over and over to see if someone wants in.

Good luck.
Dave I have Stanford in in final four but not passing my Huskies.

No Problem Pat we'll have a side bet if Stanford and the Huskies every meet up

Come on all there has to be some Bball fans out there! If you have a flickr account or use Yahoo IM you will already have an account , if not register it is free and give them your 'spam' email (cause we all have one right!)

The selection is simple Yahoo does a good job giving you the Bracket with national Teams rankings on the side - it is just a matter of picking the winner of each game. There is even a favorite button if you want to pick all favorites. Took me all of 5 - 10 minutes to get my picks.

There is no money involved, it will cost you 10 minutes of your time and then bragging rights! Also if you print your bracket you can redeem it at a KFC for some Chicken Wrap combo so you are making money!

I know squat about college ball this year - I went with some old favorites and the last team I watched on TV - no insider knowledge needed.

Haha Pat is winning makes sense eh he started the pool ! I am comfortably in the middle of the pack where there is no glory and no one remembers ya - also apparently I did not pick an overall winner! Still going with Stanford - the twin towers will dominate..........easy talk when there is no $$ involved eh - none the less it has been more fun watching ....

I may be in 1st place now but that it will not last long UCONN killed my Championship dreams

I only have 10 of the sweet 16 and 6 of my Elite 8 have a chance. Should be fun as March Madness always is. But more fun when your team is still in it.
